Dressing Effectively Is A Kind Of Excellent

When I Read About Young Designers Selling 51 Percent Of Their Company To Someone Else, I Cringe. I Want To Say, 'don't Do It - Call Me First.'

I Went Through Some Tough Times Because If You're Used To Having A Voice In Contemporary Culture And All Of Sudden, You Don't Have That Voice, You Don't Have That Outlet. I Didn't Appreciate That. I Didn't Understand How Important That Was To Me. And All Of A Sudden, After Investing All This Time And Energy, I Had No Identity. I Didn't Know Who I Was. I Didn't Know What I Had To Say. I Didn't Have A Way To Say It. It Was Very Painful.

When You Are Having Fun And Creating Something You Love, It Shows In The Product. So When A Woman Is Sifting Through A Rack Of Clothes, Somehow That Piece Of Clothing That You Had So Much Fun Designing Speaks To Her She Responds To It And Buys It. I Believe You Can Actually Transfer That Energy To Material Things As You're Creating Them.

First Of All, I Love Women. But I Lust After Beautiful Women In The Way That I Lust After A Beautiful Piece Of Sculpture - This Will Probably Get Me In Trouble - Or A Beautiful Car. I Believe Everyone's On A Sliding Scale Of Sexuality. There Are Moments Where I Am Sexually Attracted To Women. But It Doesn't Overpower My First Impulse; My Lust For Them Is The Same As My Lust For Beauty In All Things.

In Another Life I Would Love To Be A Cosmetic Surgeon Because It’s Architectural. You Know, You Are Trying To Figure Out Where The Seams Go. Can I Do It In One Piece Like Halston? Can You Formaldehyde Dna?
